This Chaotic World

Just a quick thought I had on the train to work.......

Listening to Frank Ocean's "lost" and cant help but think of how a person may find themselves just that LOST.  One may find themselves sitting and actually losing themselves in their own thoughts and dreams. As a Pisces I find my self "Lost" often. We're known to be dreamers. Dreamers who dream with their eyes wide shut. :)  Our dreams and ideas are so in depth that we may find ourselves blinded at times. Its hard for us to differentiate reality from our own personal fantasy realm. Something I've found myself struggling with the most recently.  We go through our child hood practically begging for adulthood and spend the rest of our lives dreaming or wishing we could go back to being kids again. Every thing is a mystery for us HUMANS. Some may spend their entire childhood searching for things that will make them an adult only to spend their entire adult hood regretting the fact that they didnt fully enjoy their child hood. When you spend your time seakin...

So every once in a blue I stopped by this nice spot in South Orange to hear some live music and enjoy some good drinks. I have a friend who's band performs there from time to time.  Last night, I found myself at Papillon 25 enjoying great sounds and preparing my self to indulge in my favorite drink, their coconut-tini. My friend and I placed our orders and prepared ourselves for what we thought would be an enjoyable night. As our waiter bought our drinks out he noticed her ID on the table and stated , "Oh you have that out for me?". She smiles and says, "I mean you never asked for it but if you want here".  I'm grooving to the sounds of the live band not paying pretty much any mind to what is  going on,  so he ask me for mine as well. I smiled gave him my id and continue to enjoy the show. In a matter of seconds he replies, "these aren't you ..." as he checks the id's while looking at us as well. He then goes as far as asking me for my c...

So I have some issue with people who simply don't know how to drive. Don't get me wrong I'm a speed demon myself but gosh have I encountered some down right driving dummies. Whats with the lack of the use of a signal? No one uses signals nowadays but old folks and new drivers. Ive been blessed to have my license for 8 years now and boy has it been an eventful experience.  Not using a signal is not only unsafe to your self but other drivers as well. Like hey Mr. 95 Corolla you might wanna let me know your making that right turn before you go for a sudden brake right in front of me. No wonder insurance is so damn high in this area. This area is crazy accident prone. Its like every one is in a stolen car either their going too fast or not using signals to avoid the car behind following them.  Is there like an unwritten rule that I missed when I took drivers ed about not signaling. It really grinds my gears!!!!! No I shouldn't be going 40 on a residential (just kidding sp...

Earlier this week we bought you guys a story on a poor representation of Newark's Mayor Corey Booker and if you thought that was bad wait until you here what just came across our desk. We reported how thousands poured out for a chance to gain employment with the City of Newark under their One-Stop Career Program. The program and its director informed candidates that there were only 25 open positions available but what they failed to inform the  candidates on was the pre-selection process that goes on prior to the interview process. We spoke to a source within the program who informed us that prior to the orientation and interview process the employees of the program actually go through the list of potential employees and mark those who they are familiar with, whether it be related or just friendly with. Pre-selecting relatives or friends of those who are already in employed in the office is not only illegal  but it is  morally wrong as well. This pre-selection process gav...

                 Essex County investigators are searching for a suspect in the murder of a 17-yr-old East Orange teen. Aquilla Flood was found unconscious in a pool of blood in her bed around 7:30 Wednesday morning by a family member. The family member alerted authorities immediately. Flood's family says she's been receiving threatening messages from an ex-boyfriend. The family believes someone came in to their Grove St home in the middle of the night. Authorities have not yet confirmed any signs of forced entry or anything suspicious.                   Flood spent her last hours out shopping with her mom and grandmother for shoes and other last minute items for her prom before she went off to bed Tuesday night. The teen was set to attend her high school prom where she'd been nominated as prom queen just next week. "She was all set and ready to attend prom next week with her shoes and dresse...

The city of Newark has one of the highest unemployment rates in the State of New Jersey. So when we heard of the job fair held by Newark Youth One-Stop program we were impressed. To those who've been out of work for some time this job fair was a sign of Hope. The employees for the N.Y.O.S.P conducted a series of workshops and orientation like classes. This orientation gave candidates an opportunity to improve their conflict resolution skills, mission statement skills and basic communication skills.  Candidates participated in this four hour  process to prepare them for the interview process that would take place in later weeks. Candidates were informed that, although there were a little over one thousand candidates attending the workshop there was only room to fill twenty five open positions.  Candidates were informed that interviews would be performed on a later date. Who's idea was it to orientate people prior to interviewing?  If anything why not interview , pi...
